Boney Kapoor recently opened up about his late wife, Sridevi, and the emotional impact she continues to have on his life. In a conversation with News18, Kapoor reflected on his weight loss journey and how Sridevi had always encouraged him to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Kapoor, who has lost around 13-14 kilograms in recent months, shared that the journey began after he watched himself in the movie Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. He explained, “When I saw myself on screen, I didn’t like the way I looked. That’s when I decided to lose weight. But the seeds for this were sown by my wife, Sridevi.
She was always after me to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.” Sridevi, known for her disciplined approach to health, often motivated Kapoor to join her for walks and gym sessions. “She was very particular about what and when she ate. I tried to follow her routine but couldn’t match her discipline,” Kapoor admitted.

At 69 years old, Kapoor is committed to improving his health and appearance, partly inspired by his children’s encouragement. “My kids wanted me to look sharper, leaner, and better. Health-wise, I needed to do it too. I’m not getting any younger,” he said. Reflecting on his physical transformation, Kapoor shared how he feels Sridevi’s presence in his life even today. “I feel Sri is still around me, motivating me to lose weight. She would have been very happy to see this change in me.”

Kapoor also spoke about his recent hair transplant journey, which he undertook after losing weight. His doctor, Pradeep Sethi, praised the filmmaker’s dedication to the process, sharing, “Boney sir was very particular and confident about the procedure. It was fun working with him.” The emotional connection Kapoor continues to share with Sridevi is a testament to their enduring bond. Kapoor further said, “If she were alive today, she would have been proud of the steps I’ve taken towards a healthier lifestyle.”
